Get items for free! Yoink is really simple. It turns out that the world is very generous and people often give out a lot of items that they don't need for free. On yoink, we gather all those items into one place with a very simple and smooth UI and enable you to get access to all the free items around you. We built this product for ourselves and it turned out to be the best thing ever so we released it to the public. Yes we do charge because we need to keep the lights on, we try to charge very little and give you access to a free trial to see if yoink is even worth it for you! For many of us and our users it pays for itself with one yoink. We added a feature to show you the estimated value of items around you and you can see how with one yoink you make your money back. We believe there's so much out there in the world that can be used by everyone that you don't need to buy new stuff. We hope you enjoy yoink and would love to hear your feedback! Happy yoinking!
